MirrorLink: Safer and More Enjoyable Driving

MirrorLink allows you to navigate safely and handle incoming calls without using your Phone. You can

access content from MirrorLink-compatible Phone apps through your in-car display, which helps to

minimize distractions when you are driving. MirrorLink also allows you to connect your Phone to your

Bluetooth car kit and headset at the same time and switch seamlessly between the two.

You can use your in-car display to access all MirrorLink-compatible apps on your Phone. For more

information about how to operate your in-car display, consult your vehicle owner's manual.

About MirrorLink

84

MirrorLink is a device interoperability protocol that allows you to mirror content from one device to

another. For example, you can mirror content from MirrorLink-compatible Phone apps to the in-car

display.

MirrorLink-compatible apps come with built-in support for the MirrorLink protocol. These apps are

installed on your Phone and can be viewed and accessed from your in-car display after you connect

your Phone to your car.

Mirror Phone apps to your in-car display

MirrorLink lets you use Bluetooth or a USB data cable to connect your Phone to your car. You can

then use the MirrorLink protocol to mirror content from MirrorLink-compatible Phone apps to your in-

car display. This provides a safe, intuitive way for you to interact with MirrorLink-enabled apps on your

Phone and helps to prevent distractions.

Connect your Phone to two Bluetooth devices simultaneously

Your Phone can connect to your Bluetooth car kit and headset simultaneously, enabling you to switch

between these devices to make or answer calls.

Connect Your Phone to Your Car to Share Apps

Use MirrorLink to connect your Phone to your car:

1 Enable MirrorLink on your in-car display before attempting to connect your device for the firsttime. Ensure that your Phone is connected to the Internet in order to download the requiredMirrorLink certificates.

If a prompt is not shown on your Phone after you connect it to your car, your car may not

support MirrorLink, or there may be a problem with your car's firmware. Update your car's

firmware and try again.

4 If you are connecting your Phone to the car for the first time, wait until the prompt is shown,remove and reinsert the USB data cable as instructed, and then proceed with step 3. Your Phoneshould then connect to your car.

After establishing a MirrorLink connection, the Phone volume cannot be adjusted. The car volume

can be adjusted as normal. Your Phone screen will switch off automatically, but will not lock.

Disconnect your Phone from your car: Remove the USB data cable that connects your Phone to

your car. After disconnecting, your Phone screen will turn on and you will be able to adjust the Phone

Location Information Protection

Location Services: Determine the Location of Your Phone

Location Services collects and provides location information for location-based apps (such as weather,

maps, travel, and shopping apps) on your Phone. The approximate location of your Phone is

determined by GPS positioning (if GPS is enabled and the service is available), mobile network data,

and Wi-Fi positioning (if enabled). If GPS positioning is disabled, apps can still collect location

information in other ways.

Enable or Disable Location Services

After obtaining the location information permission, apps can obtain your location at any time. If your

location information is obtained by a malicious app, you may be at risk of harm or fraud. You can

enable or disable location services as needed and regularly monitor and manage the allowed

permissions for your apps to protect your privacy and security.

Enable or disable location services: Open Settings, go to Security & privacy > Location

access, and enable or disable Access my location. When location services are enabled, you can also

set the appropriate positioning mode. When location services are disabled, aside for pre-installed

software, your Phone will stop all apps and services from collecting and using your location

information. The system will ask you to enable location services when you attempt to use these apps.

l Use Wi-Fi and mobile networks: Calculates your Phone's location using carrier base station

location information or nearby Wi-Fi router location information. The accuracy of the location

information depends largely upon location information gathered from the base station or Wi-Fi

network. Accuracy normally ranges from 100 meters to several kilometers. Network positioning has

low accuracy, but allows for positioning while indoors and uses less battery power.

l Use GPS, Wi-Fi, and mobile networks: Combines the benefits of GPS positioning and networking

positioning for accurate indoor and outdoor positioning.

l Use GPS only: Only uses satellites found by your Phone's GPS to determine your position. No

network connection is needed. GPS satellite positioning is more accurate but also uses more battery.

It is accurate within tens of meters. However, indoor positioning may be inaccurate.

l Features may vary depending on your carrier.

l Huawei only uses location data to provide you with necessary functions and services, not for

the purpose of identifying and collecting your private information.

Enhanced Data Protection: Defend Your PrivacyWorried that your photos, bank account information, or other private data might get leaked if your

Phone is lost or stolen? Huawei Phones now feature security chips in addition to the combined

protection provided by the trusted root key and lock screen password. Whether your data is stored in

a microSD card or internal storage, it will receive the highest level of protection.

Stronger encryption and safeguards: Huawei Phones use a hardware key that cannot be used to

decrypt data when separated from the Phone. Based on the trusted root key, the encrypted

components are incorporated into the memory control chip to enhance the data protection capability

of the hardware. This works together with your lock screen password to protect your private data.

When you use PrivateSpace, Multi-user, encrypted microSD files, or other features to encrypt photos,

personal information, or other personal data, the only way your data can possibly be decrypted is if

the trusted root key, lock screen password, and security chip are simultaneously cracked.Not all

devices support microSD cards.


111
